as far as calling the derby, its gotta be the hardest thing ever. the 20 horses aside, when they have those tents up in the infield you cant see anything on the far turn. It must be the hardest race on earth to call. Oh by the way there is 150k people there.

But isn't it true that Luke [RIP] called the race at the track and Durkin does it just for the TV audience?

Also Durkin takes the Big A [winter meet] off for the most part.
